A digger Derek is a truck used to drill holes, set poles, and hang transformers. Notice I didn’t add “pull poles” to that list. Don’t do that, it tears your truck up over time and they cost as much as a Ferarri. We have these neat little tools called pole jacks that are designed for that exact thing.

Your common moron will refer to this as a “boom truck” or “boom tip”. Perhaps they don’t realize that most trucks used in powerlines have a boom or two.
